    You have to remove the manifold and get the carbon/soot out manually

    Loose Carbon stuck between a valve and seat is nasty $$$$$$ on a Diesel engine if you expect the engine to digest that gunk

    After cleaning disconnect the egr valve or run the engine breather into a catch can, either will stop the reinfestation of that black power robbing goop

    Mobil delo esp engine oil is designed especially to stop oil vapour and exhaust gas accumulations.


    Aussie 4wd forums are full of info on egr/manifold cleaning/modifying instructions

    Rip it off and get some oven cleaner and a water blaster into it.
    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.

    Good candidate for Soda Cleaning. Mate who restores Ducatis uses it to clean carb bodies, cylinder cooling fins etc. Very effective.

    If it's blocked up none of the sprays will work they are a preventive not a fix ie every service
    Currently using the liquid moly at work, slowly turns it to oil, but won't soak through thick stuff
